　On October 8th, at the event space on the 2nd floor of Ginza NAGANO (Ginza 5), taste the grapes cultivated for wine brewing and the wine made together, compare them with raw food, and experience the differences between varieties. Event, "Eating wine grapes!" "Shiojiri Wine Seminar" was held.

In general, raw grapes have large grains and a tightly packed appearance without gaps, pursue freshness and ease of eating, thin skin, small seeds, modest acidity, and sweetness. It is said that it is easy to feel.

On the other hand, wine brewing grapes have small grains, ventilation (prevention of illness) and sunshine (increase in sugar content), the bunch has many gaps, the skin is thick, the seeds are large, and the sugar content (more than 20 degrees) Despite the fact that the sourness is strong, the sweetness tends to be masked, but it is said to be a rich taste with a sense of condensed.

　On October 1st, a new commercial facility "Okura House" (Shin-Okura Main Building) opened at the Ginza 2-chome intersection.

Cartier's flagship store "Cartier Ginza Boutique" opens on the 1st to 3rd basement floors, Japanese cuisine "Ginza Kicho" on the 4th floor, all-day casual dining "bills" on the 12th floor, beauty salons and other clinics and beauty salons on the 5th to 7th floors, and office zones on the 8th to 11st floors.　

At the same time, the "Ark Light Memorial Light" has been rebuilt and has been lit again since September 26.

This place is said to have been lit for demonstrations by Kihachiro Okura, one of the founders of Tokyo Lighting Company, using a rice generator in 1882. A place that is said to have been lit for demonstrations.

In 1956, as a commemorative light for "Japan's first electric streetlight place", "Arc Light" was reprinted by the hands of related parties, and a Nishiki-e "Tokyo Ginza Tsutsumi Electric Lighting Lighting" depicting the former situation A bronze plate "Electrical Light Pillar Monument" with the cast of the figure was attached to the side wall.

The light of the arc lamps, which is called 2,000 candlelight, is far brighter than gas lamps and oil lamps, and is parable as "1, Tenmichi-sama, 2nd Moon, and 3rd Arc lamps in Ginza". It is reported that many visitors came to the crowd.

It was rebuilt as the second generation in 1972 and the third generation in 1986, and was once removed in 2012 after Great East Japan Earthquake.

The fourth-generation monument has the same design as at the time of installation. At a height of about 12m, I heard that the former mercury lamp was changed to LED, and the firehouse made of glass was changed to resin.

From October 1st (Saturday), the "Ninja Painter Emi Takada solo exhibition" has been held at "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" in Ginza 1-chome.

The Ginza Keizai Shimbun's real space "Ginkei Salon & Gallery" is on the first floor from the entrance of the arrow (pictured above) of the "Fukutaro Kusuri" building on the first floor.

Emi Takada of "Ninja Painter ()" said "I want to be a ninja" was the catalyst for drawing ninjas. The theme of this exhibition is "Women Ninja".

The work on the left in the photo above shows "Walking Miko", the figure of a female ninja.

Mr. Takata's solo exhibition in Chuo-ku seems to be the second time, and the first one was held at the Okuno Building.

The overwhelming presence at the venue () is the nine female ninja statues painted almost life-size on a golden Western foil. The difference from a normal nude statue is the shape of a mask that covers the lower half of the face and a hand with a mark on each.

This work, "Rin / Soldiers / Fighting / People / Everyone / Team / Column / Former", seems to have been created as a homage to Western painter Seiki Kuroda's masterpiece "Chi, Sension / Jo". It is drawn in almost the same size (about 180 cm x 90 cm) as "Chi, Sensence / Jo".

When I saw it as a work depicting the naked body of a woman in the occupation of a ninja (), it seemed that they could feel from their powerful body to a sense of life, and it was very interesting.

I felt that the fact that the back is golden is very suitable for expressing the ancient Japanese profession.

At the venue, you can also see an album of Takata's collection of works depicting children's ninjas () etc.

Mr. Takada seems to be able to continue drawing on the theme of ninjas.

In this solo exhibition, not only the Japanese version but also the English version of the pamphlet was prepared.

"Ginkei Salon & Gallery" is located on the 3rd floor of Mita Building, a corner of the Shinkyobashi intersection on Showa-dori, at the red spot on the map below.

The period is until October 13 (Thursday), and the opening hours are from 13:00 to 19:00.

Mr. Takata consented to photography in the gallery. Thank you very much

　At FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5), the salon space "Royal Room" with the 10th floor terrace is open to the public for 8 days from October 7 to October 14, and the "Fruit Autumn Garden" is being held.

（11:30～18:30）

This is one of the "seasonal garden events" currently held seven times a year, and the theme this time is "Harvest festival -Halloween Potaje Garden with Fragrance and Fruits".

With the arrival of the Halloween season, you can enjoy colorful vegetables and flower seedlings, and enjoy a fun autumn time in a garden to celebrate the harvest.

"Himmeli work" made of straw is also available.

At the free drink corner, jasmine tea and whole green tea are served.

Also, on Sunday, October 9 and 10 (Mon./holiday), the vegetable marche will be held.

It is necessary to increase the number of nursery schools in order to solve the problem of waiting children, but it is difficult to secure new nursery school sites, so the "park three-dimensional plan" is progressing. . It is said that a white feather was set up in the plan to build a nursery school at Mizutanibashi Park in Chuo Ward, Ginza, and make the rooftop a park. It is said that this is the first time in Japan. Mizutani Bridge Park is a 760-square-meter park in the office area and has no noticeable playground equipment, but we often see office workers taking a break on benches surrounded by trees and OLs spreading lunch boxes.

According to the plan, there are about 80 nursery schools, and it seems that there will be a temporary custody for shoppers gathering from outside the city on weekends. Construction will start in 2017 and aim to open it in April 2019.

By the way, the number of waiting children in Chuo-ku was 263, an increase of 144 compared to last year's 119. More than half of the approximately 1,700 households in the ward with one-year-old children want to enter a nursery school, mainly in tower apartments on the Gulf, have increased the number of dual-income households in their 30s and 40s, mainly in the bay area. It would be nice if Mizutani Bridge Park's three-dimensional construction (opening a nursery school) solves the problem of waiting children even a little, and it would be a successful case.
